|---|---|---|
| Primary education | Primary | Primary education is the first main school stage. |
| Lower-secondary education | Lower secondary | Lower secondary follows primary schooling. |
| General and technical routes | Upper secondary | Upper-secondary education includes general and technical pathways. |
| Higher education | Tertiary | Tertiary education follows secondary or equivalent qualifications. |
Key evidence
The 114.3% figure is a gross enrolment ratio and can exceed 100% because pupils outside the official age range are included.
| Measure | Value | Year | Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary gross enrolment | 114.3% | 2024 | ISCED 1 |
| Lower-secondary gross enrolment | 76.5% | 2023 | ISCED 2 |

How to read the Togo evidence
The 7.3% vocational share has a different denominator from the two gross enrolment ratios.
The finance card uses GDP as its denominator and is not another student-participation measure.
